Licking my wounds

A bluetooth le security dongle or SPI component. Holds the private keys away from the computer and does the hard parts of PKI for you.

Sorry it's all gone quiet - I've been licking my wounds after not getting through to the next round of the hackaday prize. Rant rant rant.

In the meanwhile, 3 days/week has become 0 days/week so I get a chance to get this going. I've been almost successfully mucking around with the nRF, getting new code to compile and what have you. It's a *moderately* complicated API but if you look at what it does (lots of async) then you couldn't really make it simpler. I think I'll put together a simple C++ framework for building services just so I can clean the code up.

Also: Apache Cordova. Or, rather, PhoneGap that for some reason I seem to have more luck with. It's been going well: I've been playing with a BluetoothLE plugin and, again, kinda complicated due to the amount of async involved. However, it appears that cordova plugins are really quite easy to write so I might just make an 0x05ecure plugin: it would be (I think) easier to develop because I'm more comfortable in Objective C than Javascript; and it would make it easier for third parties to integrate into projects. So, yes, that's it. That's what I'm doing today :)
